RE: Public Health and Safety Signs - Tomfoolery so delete if you don't have the time.

Gary,
We learned about this one almost 13 years ago with the first baby...
My wife inadvertently went through about a pot of coffee while on the phone
(long distance) with a rarely seen friend.  In a way, the results of that
were much worse than passing on a glass of wine or two!!  Since neither one
was used to that much coffee, in that short a period, it was unpleasant, but
educational.  From an engineering perspective: it was a very conclusive
test!

Here in the US, awhile back,  a woman was suing the liquor industry
because she gave birth to a fetal alcohol syndrome child. Apparently, nobody
in their right mind would assume that consuming a fifth of whiskey a day
could be harmful to a developing fetus making the liquor industry patiently
and damnably negligent in not putting warning labels on the bottles. (We got
them now thank God!)
During the coverage of the trial, and I don't remember the context,
but the issue of passing nastiness to infants who were being breast fed was
also brought up. While I didn't hear the end of this I often have wondered
that if that was true, and this woman's case had merit (her lawyer took it
up didn't he?) then the logical extension would be that mothers milk should
come with a warning. 

Soo Just what the heck will this label look like, and even
more importantly, just where are they going to put it so that people, can
easily read it!

signs at work. Is there a similar Directive for health and safety signs for
the general public?

Whoo! The mind boggles! You mean with like people with exclamation
point in triangle tattoos on various portions of the anatomy? Or
biohazard labels on the door of the kids' rooms? Judging
from some of the ANSI Z535 safety labels I see in the catalogs, the
Human Warning Labels would be interesting indeed.   =]
